Thread: Dovo Bergischer Lowe - impressions

These razors look great. If you want one
then go for it.....

Now it doesn't come shave ready and if
you are ordering from classicshaving
do take advantage of the honing service.

The man doing the honing is Mr. Lynn Abrams
who goes by adjustme69 on this very forum.

Oh, and welcome to the forum......


Terry

thanks for the welcome

yeah mayyyybe an xmas gift from the gf???

Be warned - once you start buying razors
you won't be able to stop.

One is never enough. Nor are two,
three.......

I hope you get your razor.....

Bought a Dovo "Bergie" Lowe upon Lynn's recommendation. As you might expect it was a good move. Right now, along with a pre-Dovo Bismark, it's the best shaving straight razor I have. I highly recommend them.

I have one and I love it. As I recall it was the second razor I acquired and it was shave ready out of the box, but barely so and at first I didn't like it but after honing it, it really improved and now is an exceptional shaver and really good looking too. The finishing is fantastic.

I love to looks of it and have been wanting to try one since I've started using a SR.

Maybe some day......

I'm definitely going to get one along with a TI spike, by the time the toothfairy pays out...

Waiting for the toothfairy ey, You would have to knock all your teeth out for that baby

I just got my Dovo Bergischer Lowe the other day, and unforunatly Classicshaving forgot to send it on to Lynn before sending it to the UK which is a pain but i can not wait untill i get it Honed i did notice that the wash comes off really easily (front Goldy shield) but i just love the full design,

If you like the blade style of the Bergischer Lowe you should also check out the "Founders Razor" at Classicshaving in the limited editions section. It's hard to tell from the picture that the blade is all but identicle to the BL's, but it has different markings and beautiful bone scales. I have one, as well as a BL, and they're both great shavers.

Hi Mike,

I actually like the Ebony-Handled Silver Steel too......It has a more delicate edge than the BL, but is also an excellent shaver.
